? SOCIALE MEDIER
Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.
? Verdens største annoncekøber kritiserer Facebook
“We’re increasingly holding Facebook to account to justify the levels of investment we are putting in them,” said Robin O’Neill, managing director of digital trading for GroupM. “We continue to press them to allow us to independently verify our metrics and operate in the real world. Facebook doesn’t operate with real-world metrics. I would urge every agency to hold Facebook to account and interrogate the data that comes out from them.”
? Facebook tester dating-tjeneste – i Columbia
The service was first announced at the annual F8 conference in May this year, and will likely be available in other locations in the future. For now, users aged 18 and older in Colombia will be able to create dating profiles and, once those reach a critical mass, find some matches. WIRED got to preview an early version of the service, and it looks promising—especially for users looking for meaningful long-term relationships rather than hookups.
? Hvor aktive er mediernes Facebook-grupper egentlig?
We analyzed the data of groups as large as 40,000 members and as small as 300, from international organizations to local publishers. How does yours fit in?
?? USA: Hvem får nyheder fra hvilke sociale platforme?
THOUGH ONLY A third of Instagram users say they get news from the app, 60 percent of those who do are nonwhite, whereas on Twitter, 60 percent of news consumers are white. Of people who rely on Snapchat for news, 63 percent are women. Yet 72 percent of people who tap Reddit for news are men. These are some of the takeaways from a Pew Research survey published this week, looking at the news consumption habits of social media users in the US.
?? EU: Facebook mangler stadig at rette ind
Seven months after Europe’s Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova told Facebook and other tech companies to bring their user terms in line with EU consumer laws, the social media giant has yet to address all her concerns, the sources said.
? Facebook inkluderer nyheds-sider i annonce-arkiv
Today we’re starting to index news Pages to determine which publishers’ ads should be in the news section of the Ad Archive. Publishers can apply to have their Pages included in this index. To be included, they must abide by guidelines we developed with news organizations, academics and industry groups.

? Hvor ofte skal folk se din annonce på Facebook?
This means that you’re able to clearly see how much you’re blanketing the same audience, or how thinly your ad budget is being spread. Conventional wisdom dictates that, on average, the audience needs to see your ad more than once to be able to recall it, and to take action upon it, however, naturally the higher the frequency gets, the less effective your advertising is going to be.
? Stop med at lytte til “guruerne” og lav din egen plan
There’s no doubt you could spend your every waking hour listening to and watching others to learn what they suggest you should do to be super successful, rich and famous (or so they say), and there’s undoubtedly value in learning from others who’ve already been down the path you are wanting to succeed at.
But here’s the problem – we all have different paths.
? Facebook-alternativet ‘Path’ lukker
Path was once touted as the next Facebook: a social network built from its inception for mobile phones, with a focus on smaller groups. While those ambitions were long vanquished, today the company revealed that it will soon be gone forever.
? Ny bog om bl.a. Facebooks rolle ift. medierne
In the book, Vaidhyanathan, a former journalist who now directs the University of Virginia’s Center for Media and Citizenship, examines Facebook’s impact on newsrooms, many of which have integrated the social media platform into virtually every step of the news reporting process.
? Instagram lancerer shopping i Stories og Explore
Today we’re announcing two updates that make it easier to shop on Instagram, whether you stumble upon something you love or are simply in the mood to browse your favorite brands.
#️⃣ Instagram tester hashtags udenfor beskrivelsen
Code hacker Jane Manchun Wongshared some screenshots of the new functionality as it currently stands in development – as you can see here, a new ‘Add Hashtags’ field has been added in the post composition process.
⏰ Twitter gør det lettere at få kronologisk visning
[…] today we updated the “Show the best Tweets first” setting. When off, you’ll only see Tweets from people you follow in reverse chronological order. Previously when turned off, you’d also see “In case you missed it” and recommended Tweets from people you don’t follow.

? DR vil øge podcast-produktionen
Selvom DR lukker af P6, P7 og P8 i 2020, vil lytterne stadig kunne høre jazz og rock efter 2020. Det skal bl.a. en ny musikprofil på P3 og nye musikpodcasts i et vist omfang sørge for, siger radiochef. Kommerciel radioaktør roser DR for én af kanallukningerne.

☔ The Weather Channel bruger spilmotor til vejrudsigten
On September 13, The Weather Channel aired a segment that demonstrated both the power of Hurricane Florence and the Unreal Engine—the software that powers video games like Fortnite, Octopath Traveler, and Dragon Ball FighterZ. In the segment, a meteorologist described the power of the coming storm, the camera pulled back, and what looked like real flood waters filled the screen, surging above the anchor’s head and tossing cars around like toys.

⚡ Google opgiver (lidt af) kontrollen over AMP
Now, Google is announcing that it intends to give up some control of how the code behind AMP is managed. It plans to move the AMP Project to a “new governance model,” which is to say that decisions about the code will be made by a committee that includes non-Googlers.

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.
⏱️ Bureauer kigger mere på tid og mindre på klik
“Vi går i langt højere grad op i kvalitet frem for kvantitet og kigger f.eks. på tiden med brugeren. Det siger tallet ikke noget om, men det har en del at sige, om folk f.eks. bruger mere eller mindre på sitet. Det er klart, at hvis folk bruger den samme tid på bt.dk, men ser mange flere sider, kan det også være et negativt signal, at de har kortere tid med indholdet,” siger Michael Ingemann, der uddyber, at tidsparameteret er blevet vigtigere i takt med, at brugernes opmærksomhed er flygtig i en tid med mange medietilbud.
? YouTube lancerer vertikale videoer som annonce-produkt
YouTube on Sept. 12 launched vertical video ads, a format already offered by Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and, of course, Snapchat. Marketers said they expect YouTube’s to be used differently from Instagram’s and Snapchat’s, though.
